2015 Holiday Spirit

2015 Holiday Spirit is that year's tin of the limited-edition aromatic McClelland released for year-end. Its composition holds Burley, Virginia, and Cavendish, sweetened with dark rum, walnut, and cocoa. The cut is irregular: stem pieces, large Burley leaves, dried Virginia bits, and Cavendish of every size sit together, making an even burn through the smoke difficult to maintain.

In the first half, the rum-and-chocolate combination is pronounced; as the smoke proceeds, an ashy tone comes forward. Nicotine is low and body stays thin. Suited to smokers seeking a sweet holiday-season aromatic who don't mind dealing with an irregular cut. The brand stopped production in 2018.
